Dancing Queen
Maruça & Anastácia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music′s high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You′re a teaser, you turn it on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Dig in the dancing queen
Dig in the dancing queen
The lyrics to Maruça & Anastácia's song "Dancing Queen" is a celebration of youth, joy, and partying. The song has a fast tempo that encourages listeners to dance and let loose. The opening line, "You can dance, you can jive" is an invitation to move and dance as one pleases. The lyrics go on to describe the scene of a Friday night, the lights are low, and people are looking for a place to go where they can dance and have a good time. The singer is presented as an alluring, young woman; the dancing queen of the club who has the attention of everyone present.
The song's chorus reiterates the idea of dancing and having the time of your life. It describes the singer as a young and sweet girl, who is only seventeen but already the dancing queen. The tambourine is used as an instrument to highlight the rhythm, allowing anyone who hears it to feel the beat and start dancing. The lyrics emphasize the temporary nature of the singer's interactions with her male counterparts, declaring that after she has left, they will look for another partner to dance with. The song's final repetition of "Dig in the dancing queen" encourages listeners to fully immerse themselves in the moment and enjoy the music and the dance.
